Hes never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employee

2、s started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter,” he told her. Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program

3、 that began on his first day and continues throughout an employees occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions. Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that ed

4、ucation is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a persons success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control arent working ha

5、rdbut thats because theyve made it automatic,” Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. “Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.” The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wro

6、te workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers lives.

G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.BForget Cyclists, Pedestrians are Real DangerWe are having a debate about this topic. Here are some

9、letters from our readers.Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them

10、. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that a

11、re, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.Michael HoranI love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he w

12、as doing he shouted at me.The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jackets and lights at night and in the morning they should pa

13、y some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.Carol HarveyCyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.Iwas almost knocked down recently by a cycli

14、st riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?Its about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can

15、be traced and there might be an opportunity to claim.JMLWrite to Viewpoints of the newspaper.4.

17、pavements.C. Pedestrians go through red traffic lights.D. Horse riders disrespect other road users.7. The underlined word “they” in the third letter refers to _.A. accidentsB. vehiclesC. pedestriansD. cyclistsCLondons newest skyscraper (摩天大楼）is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds t

18、o build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the

19、Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building arent regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the

20、building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an ob

21、servatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before building work began, a lot of people didnt want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Sha

22、rd. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think

23、the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics dont like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the pe

24、ople who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to

25、the city.8. Londons newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of_.A. its costB. its sizeC. its heightD. its shape9. When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to_.A. change Londons skylineB. inherit Londons traditionC. imitate the Egyptian styleD. attract potential visitors10. The critics who r

Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The Shard: Cheers and ClapsB. The Shard: Work of a Great ArchitectC. The Sh

27、ard: A Change for the Better? D. The Shard: New Symbol of London?DEl Nino, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nino s

28、ees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nino, on balance, than they

29、 lose. A study found that a strong Nino in 1997-98 helped Americans economy grow by 15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvests: farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countries is greater than the fall in poor ones.But in Indones

30、ia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱) in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disastersThe most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed

31、around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the p

32、ast two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施) can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道)

33、 make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Ninos harmful eff

34、ectsand the poorer the country, the stronger tiie link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for t

35、heir losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.12. What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?A. It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.B. It takes place almost every year all over the world.C. It forces fishermen to stop catching f

36、ish around Christmas.D. It is named after a South American fisherman.13. What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected?A. Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B. Droughts become more harmful than floods.C. Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.D. Rich countries gain

The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest thatA. victims of El Nino deserve more compensationB. governments of poor countries need more aidC. more investment should go to risk reductionD. recovery and reconstruction should come first15. What is the authors p

38、urpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce El Nino and its origin.B. To explain the consequences of El Nino.C. To show ways of fighting against El Nino.D. To urge people to prepare for El Nino.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出的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A garden thats just right for youHave you
