11、d a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had bro

12、ken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their hel

13、met in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother of the Wheel,” he said. “We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet, I looked past his beard and into his eyes.

14、ness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered.

18、ir traffic controllers in the US have been advised to take 26-minute naps (小睡), after a series of accidents involving workers falling asleep. Now the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is calling for “controlled naps” during nightshifts (夜班). NTSB member Mark Rosekind said that a 26-minute

19、nap would improve performance by 34%. He believes that beyond the aviation (航空) industry, other professions, such as motoring and machinery, also carry obvious risks.But other experts doubt whether 26 minutes is the appropriate napping time. Its a bit too long and risks you falling into a deep sleep

20、, says Jim Horne, director of the Sleep Research Council. He said, “A nap of about 15 minutes is best; once you get beyond 20 minutes, you risk a deep sleep and you can be much more tired when you wake up. Therefore, we suggest that a nap be combined with a cup of coffee so that you can enjoy an eff

21、ective sleep before the caffeine (咖啡因) takes effect in 20 minutes. However, this method only works on those who have had a poor nights sleep. If you havent had a sleep the night before, this method wont be enough to make you fresh.” Health writer, Linda Wasmer Andrews, also believes that 26 minutes

22、is too long. She says a nap between 10 and 20 minutes is enough, and the timing of the nap is also important. Putting your head down too early means your body may not be ready to sleep yet, but a nap that is too late in a day might make it harder to fall asleep. Early afternoon is often the best tim

26、urday of October.Who takes part in Make A Difference Day?Anyone! Young and old, individuals and groups, anyone can carry out a volunteer project that helps others. It might be as ambitious as collecting truckloads of clothing for the homeless, or as personal as spending an afternoon helping an elder

27、ly neighbor or relative. USA WEEKEND covers volunteers and their projects in articles and photos.How do I get started? Look around your community. Are people hungry, homeless or ill?

33、rigin of Make A Difference DayB. direct people how to select a proper project ideaC. promote Make A Difference Day to other countriesD. encourage people to join in Make A Difference DayDIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is

34、responsible for social progress and prosperity; others say that competition is bad because it sets one person against another and because it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tenn

35、is and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a c

36、ulture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail.

37、They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Su

38、ch a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only

39、 as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.32. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.B. Competition can help people to set up self-respect.C. Opinions about competition are dif

40、ferent among people.D. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.33. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward.B. It builds up a sense of duty.C. It improves personal abilities.D. It encourages individual efforts.34. The underlined phrase

41、 “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who depend on others most for successD. those who are against competition most strongly35. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail?

42、A. Ones success in competition needs great efforts.B. Ones success is based on how hard he has tried.C. Ones achievement is determined by his particular skills.D. Ones worth lies in his performance compared with others.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，然后将答案标号填写到第卷题首表格内。选项中有两项为多余选项。S
