Each of us must choose which we want to 36 our future and our expectations. We can choose to laugh or cry, bless or 37 . Its our decision: From

20、 which perspective do we want to view life? Will we look up in 38 or down in desperation? I believe in the upward look. I choose to 39 the positive and skip right over the negative.An optimistic attitude is not a luxury; its a(n) 40 . The way you look at life will determine how you feel, how you per

21、form, and how well you will get along with other people. 41 , negative thoughts, attitudes, and expectations 42 themselves; they become a self-fulfilling prophecy (预言). Pessimism creates a dark place where no one wants to live.Years ago, I drove into a service station to get some gas. It was a beaut

22、iful day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me, “How do you feel?” That seemed like a(n) 43 question, but I felt fine and told him so. “You dont look well,” he replied. This 44 me completely by surprise. A little 45 confidently, I told hi

23、m that I had 46 felt better. Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared yellow.By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little 47 . About a block away, I 48 over to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was I

24、 affected with jaundice(黄疸)? Was everything all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little nauseous(恶心). Did I have a bad liver? Had I 49 some rare disease?On another beautiful day, when I went into that gas station, feeling 50 again, I figured out what had happened. The place h

25、ad recently been painted a bright, distasteful 51 , and the light reflecting 52 the walls made everyone inside look as though they had hepatitis（肝炎）! I wondered how many other folks had 53 the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total 54 change my attitude for an entire day. He told m

26、e I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single 55 observation had a great effect on the way I felt and acted.The only thing more powerful than negativism is a word of optimism and hope. When a whole culture adopts an upward look, incredible things can be accomplished.36.

30、请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AConsumer electronics once again topped the list of the most wanted gifts this holiday season. “Seventy-six percent of consumers who plan to buy holiday gifts say that they will spend money buying at least one technology product; definitely a solid

31、vote of confidence for technology.” Steve Koenig is with the Consumer Electronics Association. He says the groups latest research also shows that Americans this year are spending more on technology products. “Here in 2012, $252 on averagethe technology spend for consumers this year.” From tablet com

32、puters to smartphones, American shoppers have been lining up to get the newest and coolest electronic devices on the market. There are more choices today than ever before. “Its kind of hard to make a decision.” Tablet computers are one of the best-selling products this year. Brian Tong is Senior Edi

33、tor of CNET.com. The website reports on tech news and examines the latest electronic products.He says the Apple iPad Mini is one of the most popular tablets. Its starting price is $329. One of Apples biggest competitors is the Google Nexus 7. It starts at $199. “The hardware inside is more powerful

34、than whats in the iPad Mini, but also it offers you a lot of things like maps that work better than Apples maps.” Brian Tong says there is one reason why people may like the iPad Mini more than the Nexus 7.“If you just want to read books and surf the Internet, you dont really need to get an iPad Min

35、i, but if you want the largest group of apps thats where the iPad and Apples ecosystem shines the most.” Elman Chacon is with the electronics store Best Buy. He says another hot product this season is smart cameras.They connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi. This makes it easy for users to email or

36、upload photographs directly from the camera. “You can literally take a picture, upload it into your Facebook in a matter of seconds. These things are pretty cool because they do a lot of things.” Streaming media boxes also connect to the Internet. People are able to watch web content such as movies

37、and YouTube videos on their televisions. Another popular item is wireless speaker systems. The newest ones work with any device that has Bluetooth technology, including smartphones, laptops and tablets. With the growing popularity of Internet shopping, many consumers will visit a store first to look

38、 at a product, and then go online to find it at a lower price. Stores like Best Buy understand that and they want to stay competitive. “We have something called the perfect match promise which means if you buy a certain device and you find it cheaper within 30 days well go ahead and price match that

39、 for you.” Elman Chacon said. 56. According to Brain Tong, _.A. the Apples iPad Mini is more suitable for enthusiastic readersB. the hardware in iPad Mini is more advanced than that in Nexus 7C. Nexus 7 has fewer apps than iPad MiniD. iPad mini is more eco-friendly57. If youve discovered that a cert

40、ain device you bought at Best Buy is more expensive than one at another store, _.A. you are sure to get double the amount you paidB. you can return the device and get your money backC. the store will return the price differencesD. the store will lower the price within 30 days58. Which of the followi

41、ng would be the best gift for a cab driver?A. Smart cameras.B. Streaming media boxes.C. Wireless speaker systems.D. Tablet computers.BMONTAGNE: In the summer of 2011, the world first heard of a small island in Norway under the most terrible of circumstances. Utoya Island was a youth camp run by Norw

42、ays Labor Party. One day in July, a heavily armed, right-wing extremist stepped onto the island and began shooting at random. Sixty-nine people died, over 100 were wounded; almost all, young people. This month, artist Jonas Dahlberg was appointed to create a memorial. He described to us the experien

43、ce he imagines for those who come to the island.DAHLBERG: You start your walk through a forest of evergreens on a wooden pathway. After a while, this pathway starts to go down into the landscape.MONTAGNE: Down into the landscape, and into a short tunnel. When you come out, you are unable to go any f

44、arther. You cant get to the tip of the island because it has been cut off. So all you can do is look across a narrow channel of water at what is now a wall of polished stone, carved with the names of the dead.DAHLBERG: It becomes almost like a gravestone. You cannot reach it. Its close enough to be

45、able to read, but its forever lost for your possibility to reach.MONTAGNE: Its being called a memory wound. Exactly what do you mean by that?DAHLBERG: During my first site visit, the experience of seeing those gunshotsand you can see it was like being in an open wound. And it took me to a stage of d

46、eep sadness where it was hard to breathe. So I didnt want to illustrate loss; I wanted to make actual loss. Its just a cut through the island.MONTAGNE: On the day of the massacre, just hours before launching his shooting on the island, the killer set off a bomb in downtown Oslo, leaving eight people

47、 dead. As those events were unfolding, artist Jonas Dahlberg had been out with his brother, and stopped in at a seaside village.DAHLBERG: In the harbor, it was silent, and this is the higher end of summer. So, its normally a very lively place. And it was total silence there; and it was a very, very

48、strange feeling in the whole small village. And its totally impossible to grasp what is going on. And then it just kept on. Its still almost impossible to understand it. Its also one of the reasons why its so important with memorials for these kind of things. Its to maybe help a little bit to unders

49、tand what was happening. So its not just about remembering. Its also about trying to just understand.MONTAGNE: Artist Jonas Dahlberg designed the memorial for the 69 who died at a youth camp on Utoya Island. The attack was the deadliest in Norway since World War II. That memorial will open in 2015.

50、And to see a virtual version of what it will look like, go to our website, at npr.org. This is Renee Montagne at NPR news.59. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Utoya Island was the only bloody shooting spot planned by the killer.B. Utoya Island used to be a youth camp site and now has bee

51、n reduced to total silence.C. Dahlberg and his brother witnessed the shooting on Utoya Island.D. Visitors to Utoya Island can touch the names of the victims carved on the polished stone.60. By the underlined phrase “a memory wound”, Dahlberg means all the following EXCEPT that _.the artist plans to

52、slice through the end of an island to make actual lossmemorials are supposed to be not only about remembering but helping people to understand what was happening this memorial shows the gunshots vividly to the visitors for them to understand what was happeningthe space between is meant to symbolize

53、how those who were killed are gone but are not forgotten 61. Which of the following pictures shows the design of the memorial?A. B. C. D. CWhen Mary Barra took the wheel at General Motors in January she inherited a company in good shape. Five years after bankruptcy(破产), its profits were beyond expec

54、tations and its share price was rising. But the new bosss to-do list was long: fixing GMs loss-making European arm, keeping up momentum(势头) in China amid signs of a slowdown and giving new life to the product line. The former CEO, Dan Akerson, warned her that she would also face unexpected challenge

55、s. The first has arrived sooner than she might have expected.What appeared to be a routine recall(召回) of about 800,000 older models, linked to a faulty ignition(点火) switch, has turned out to be anything but. The number of cars recalled has leapt to more than 2.6 million. The companys clumsy handling

56、 of a safety problem that first became apparent a decade ago is now linked to the deaths of at least 13 motorists.Called before Congress to answer for GMs failings Ms Barra said she was “deeply sorry” but insisted that the post-bankruptcy “new GM” was not like the “old GM”, which had failed to deal

57、with the ignition switches for years. Politicians and the public alike want to know how such a problem could have remained unaddressed for so long.Cars are becoming ever more complex machines, with thousands of mechanical and electronic parts. Last year it happened to 22 million vehicles in America,

58、 compared with 18 million in 2012. In fact, GM was one of only three brands that recalled fewer vehicles than it sold. Minor problems, like squeaks(吱吱响) or rattles(卡嗒响), that do not affect safety are more common still. They may be fixed at a routine service; the owner may never know. The growing num

59、ber of recalls is proof to an improving system for picking up faults. But it is very complicated. Dealers must record replacements of parts under warranty(保修). The carmaker needs to spot the trend, recognize it as a problem and then determine whether or not it is a design fault that requires an exte

60、nsive replacement. It relies on accurate recording of every warranty replacement in every region. This system appears to have broken down at “old GM”. Ms Barra needs to find out why.The core problem is a widely used ignition switch that has a tendency to slip from the “on” position to “off” if a dri

61、ver uses a heavy key-chain or bounces down a rough road. An improvement was made in 2008 to prevent the problem, which can lead to the engine shutting off, disabling the airbags. But despite a growing list of crashes and deaths, GM failed to order a recall for a component that would have cost a few

62、dollars at most.This is odd. Most carmakers want to identify and fix problems speedily despite having to bear the cost of buying and fitting a new component. A small part can do great harm, if bad publicity leads to reputational collapse, lost sales and law suits, including heavy penalties. Appearin

63、g to put profits before safety is an invitation to battering a firms shares, as GM has discovered.So far Ms Barra has handled the situation well. She seems to have acted as soon as she found out something was wrong. GM has appointed a worldwide safety president to cut through the process that may ha

64、ve delayed investigation and action. And in a sweeping housecleaning, GM has recalled another 2 million vehicles in America alone. GM looks set to accept moral, if not legal, responsibility. The terms of its exit from bankruptcy give immunity to lawsuits for injuries arising beforehand. But GM is li

65、kely to compensate survivors and victims families anyway.It is not yet clear how much of a hammering GM will take. But hours before Ms Barras meeting with Congress, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety issued a greatly desired “Top Safety Pick” for the new Chevrolet Malibu, one of a growing nu

66、mber of well-received cars from GM. 62. When Mary Barra took office, there was plenty more room for GMs improvement in that _.a. the development of Chinese market appears to be slowing downb. former bosses have failed to fix GMs loss-making European armc. some car models lack appeal in the marketd.

67、Mr. Akerson has left some challenges for her to handlee. GMs management teams are made up mainly of menA.a, b, and eB.b, c, and dC.a, b, and cD. a, c and d63. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Problems like squeaks or rattles are frequent reasons for recalls.B. Recalls are not uncommon in the

68、 auto industry.C. Car companies welcome recalls to demonstrate improved products and services.D. Minor problems may be fixed at a routine service without the owners knowledge.64. Mary Barra has carried out the following strategies to manage the crisis and quiet the critics EXCEPT that _.A. as soon a

69、s she learned about the problem, she acted without hesitationB. she faced facts and apologized sincerely C. she took the legal responsibilities for their previous mistakesD. she appointed a new president for global safety for GM65. What does the underlined word “battering” in paragraph7 probably mea

70、n?A. Benefiting.B. Regulating.C. Purchasing.D. Damaging.66. What can we infer from GMs new Malibu being awarded “Top Safety Pick”?GMs new model Malibu is specially designed to solve ignition problems.GM products are gaining more and more popularity around the world.GM seems to be on the road to savi

71、ng itself from mistakes.GM has worked out a solution to the broken-down recall system.DThis is my world now; its all I have left. You see, Im old. And, Im not as healthy as I used to be. Im not necessarily happy with it, but I accept it. Occasionally, a member of my family will stop in to see me. He

72、 or she will bring me some flowers or a little present, maybe a set of slippersIve got eight pairs. And then they will return to the outside world and Ill be alone again. Oh, there are other people here in the nursing home. Residents, were called. The majority are about my age. Im 84. Many are in wh

73、eelchairs. The lucky ones are passing througha broken hip, a diseased heart, something has brought them here for rehabilitation(康复). When theyre well theyll be going home.The help here is basically pretty good, although theres a large turnover of staff. Just when I get comfortable with someone he or

74、 she moves on to another job. I understand that. This is not the best job to have. I dont much like some of the physical things that happen to us. I dont care much for a diaper(尿布). I seem to have lost the control acquired so diligently as a child. The difference is that Im aware and embarrassed, bu

75、t I cant do anything about it. Ive had three children, and I know it isnt pleasant to clean anothers diaper. My husband used to wear a gas mask when he changed the kids. I wish I had one now.Why do you think the staff insists on talking baby talk when speaking to me? I understand English. I have a d

76、egree in music and am a certified teacher. Now I hear a lot of words that end in “y”. There is little need for anyone to position their face directly in front of mine and raise their voice with those “y” words. Sometimes it takes longer for a meaning to sink in; sometimes my mind wanders when I am b

77、ored. But theres no need to shout. Id love to go out for a meal or travel again. Id love to go to my own church, sing with my own choir. Id love to visit my friends. Most of them are gone now or else they are in different “homes” of their childrens choosing. Id love to play a good game of bridge, bu

78、t no one here seems to concentrate very well. My children put me here for my own good. They said they would be able to visit me frequently. But they have their own lives to lead. That sounds normal. I dont want to be a burden. They know that. But I would like to see them more. One of them is here in

79、 town. He visits as much as he can.Something else Ive learned to accept is loss of privacy. Quite often Ill close my door when my roommateimagine having a roommate at my ageis in the TV room. I do appreciate some time to myself and believe that I have earned at least that courtesy(礼貌). As I sit thin

80、king or writing, one of the aides invariably opens the door unannounced and walks in as if Im not there. Sometimes she even opens my drawers and begins searching around. Am I invisible? Have I lost my right to respect and dignity? I am still a human being. I would like to be treated as one.Back to m

In fact, its possible to turn failure into success by making the right adjustments. The

86、trick is in knowing where the adjustment is needed and how much. We call people who have the ability to make the best life adjustments happy. And on the other hand we call people who refuse or neglect to make adjustments sad, frustrated or confused. Whatever your stage in life, age or financial leve

87、l, everyone will face what I call the 3 Cs. The 3 Cs are changes, challenges and choices. The person who handles the 3 Cs the best we call happy and well adjusted. One obstacle many people trip over is assuming money will help them make the best life adjustments. Wrong! It may help in some ways, but

88、 even money wont help unless you have the knowledge and put in the effort. For instance, dysfunctional (不正常的) wealthy people who find it hard to deal with the challenges, changes and choices of life are not that hard to find.So, whats one of the key factors of people who fail to live up to their pot

89、ential? They fail to make life adjustments when faced with changes, challenges or choices. Here are 3 simple but powerful tips to help you make effective life adjustments when faced with the 3 Cs or changes, challenges and choices.Learn To Think With Your Eyes And Ears When you learn how to think wi

90、th your eyes we call that observation and when you learn how to think with your ears we call that hearing. Most people see but few people know how to observe. The difference between seeing and observing is like the difference between reading and studying. The same goes with listening. It only requir

91、es ears to hear, but it often takes awareness and thought to listen. One factor in helping you to listen better is to hear not only what people say but what they dont say. Reading body language and voice inflection can help you listen between the lines. All these play an effective role in helping yo

92、u to think with your eyes and ears.Learn To Go With The Flow The people who learn to make the best life adjustments cultivate the habit of going with the flow. For example, they refuse to sweat the small stuff, they remain flexible to life changes. The best way to do that is to trust your instincts(

93、直觉). The more you do that the more they will work for you. Worry tends to ruin your God-given instincts. Notice people who can go with the flow and youll find a person with sharp instincts.Be Prepared For Changes, Challenges And ChoicesIf you can keep an attitude of preparation youll have the best c

94、hance of making effective life adjustments. What kind? The kind that can see you through problems, setbacks and challenges.As the saying goes, “If you stay ready, you dont have to get ready.” Thats the best advice for anyone who wants to make the best life adjustments and win!
