The difference is, Im 31 years ol

9、d, and Adrian is 72! I watched Adrian as he was training, early on a Sunday morning, and he was hitting the punching bag harder and quicker than most men in their twenties would. Adrian was a former boxer whose last professional fight was in 1972. Even though he has stopped competing as a boxer, his

10、 discipline(纪律) still makes him stick to a training rule. It simply amazed me as to how a 72-year-old man could train so hard. Believe me, boxing is one of the most difficult sports on the earth, needing much patience,skill, and effort. What surprised me even more was that a few days earlier he did

11、some running. He ran 9 kilometers. He does this on a regular basis. For me, I can run 5 kilometers at most. When I questioned him about how he kept such discipline, he calmly replied, “It is all in my mind.” I thought about it for a moment. If discipline can push a 72-year-old man to train so hard a

12、nd enjoy it, could I imagine how discipline could serve every single human being on the earth? Right at this point, as you read this story, please pause and ask yourself, “What is my level of discipline?” Adrians example told me that the power of discipline will get us to the finishing line! The big

13、ger the challenge is, the more our discipline can serve us and the sweeter the taste of success will be!21.

19、ithout notice. So call ahead before setting out.What to bring: Some farms provide containers(容器) for you to carry the fruit home, but its not a bad idea to bring them yourself.

22、 not allowed to take containers for carrying apples.C What looks like an angry old man and lives at the bottom of the ocean? Its the worlds ugliest animal-the blobfish(水滴鱼). Its strange skin is shaped by its habitat. It lives 800 meters below the oceans surface, a depth where very few other creature

23、s can survive. Most fishes have a swim bladder(鱼鳔), which is filled with gas and helps them stay afloat. At the depth that the blobfish live, water pressure is 80 times higher than that at higher sea levels and any swim bladder wouldnt be able to serve its purpose. The blobfish dont have a swim blad

24、der because their skin works the same way. It helps them stay afloat without having to use any energy. The blobfish have a pretty relaxed attitude towards eating. All they do is stay and wait for crabs or lobsters to come by. Since the blobfish like to eat crabs and lobsters, they often get caught i

25、n nets that are used to catch lobsters or crabs and end up dying or being killed. They are not suitable for eating so they are useless for fishermen. Theres a purpose behind the blobfishs new title; it has become the new mascot for the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, an organization whose purpose

26、is to preserve endangered ugly animals. “Weve needed an ugly face for endangered ugly animals for a long time and Ive been amazed by the public reaction,” said the Societys Simon Watt. “For too long cute animals have taken the limelight(风头) but now the blobfish will be a voice for those who always g

27、et forgotten.”They hope this new face will help the world know that we need to help preserve the populations of ugly animals too.28. The biggest difference between the blobfish and most other fishes is that the blobfish_ .A. cannot be eaten by people B. dont have a swim bladderC. only live at high s

28、ea levels D. arent active in catching food 29. What makes the blobfish stay afloat?A. Their skin. B. Their tail. C. Their mouth. D. Their swim bladder.30.

30、l.D Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing， our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is u

31、nfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身),nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you cant judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as

32、 people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more

33、about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty

34、of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I cant expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have

35、to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.32. Which of the following is the newspaper editors opinion according to Paragraph 2?A. Peoples appearances carry messages about themselves.B. Candidates with tattoos o

36、r nose rings should be fairly treated.C. Customers choices influence dress standards in companies.D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.33. What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. Hiring managers make the bes

37、t impression on their candidates.C. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.D. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.34. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Hiring Managers Matter B. Personal Choices MatterC. Employees Matter D

38、. Appearances Matter35. The authors attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as _.A. enthusiastic B. positive C. negative D. sympatheticE Some students prefer to learn by themselves.

39、sure and independence. There is some truth in their way. 36 It is better to have a teacher, especially when they learn something more difficult.

40、ties. 37 What is more, a teacher puts real pressre on you. If you study by yourself, you must be strong-minded enough to keep on. 38 But under the guidance of a teacher, you will feel there is always someone to watch you.

41、u will not pass the course.Last but not least, studying with a teacher will help you receive the benefit of the teachers knowledge. 39 They teach students how to learn and how to obtain information.
