Unwilling to accept this terrible fate, the two frogs began to jump with all of their 5 . Some of the frogs shouted into the hole that it was 6 , and that the two frogs wouldn't be in that 7 if they had been more careful. The other frogs continued 8 shouting that they two should save their 9 and give up, since they were already as good as dead. The two frogs 10 jumping as hard as they could, and after several hours of hopeless 11 they were quite tired. Finally, one of the two frogs followed the calls of his fellows. Disheartened, he lay down at the 12 of the hole, and died as the others looked on in helpless sorrow. The other frog continued to jump with every bit of energy he had, 13 he was completely worn out. His companions began a new shouting to him to accept his fate, stop the pain and 14 die. The frog jumped harder and harder and, wonder of wonders, finally jumped so 15 that he sprang from the hole. 16 , the other frogs celebrated his unbelievable freedom and then gathering around him asked, "Why did you continue jumping when we told you it was impossible?" 17 their lips, the astonished frog explained to them that he was deaf, and that when he saw their gestures and shouting, he thought they were 18 him on. What he had got as 19 inspired him to try harder and finally succeeded. This simple story contains a powerful lesson. Your encouraging words can 20 someone up and help him or her make it through the day. | ||||

| Car sharing is another way to drive green that's gaining in popularity, especially in urban areas. People who may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands (差事) or drive on weekends benefit most from car sharing. Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar, though there are non-profit (非营利的) and informal car sharing services. Members pay a monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when they need one. The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation, and then go to the pickup spot. Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road. Members don't drive just because they are in a car. They plan trips, and if they don't need a car, they don't use one. Still, a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or if they want to go to the beach for the day. Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the headaches of ownership. They usually don't have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance (保养), and the monthly membership fee is less than a typical car payment. So if you really want to go green but aren't ready to totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to go. If you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus! |
| 1. The author intends to tell us that car sharing ______. |
| A. has become the most popular way to go to work B. has become the best way to cut living costs C. is becoming more and more popular in cities D. is becoming popular both in urban and rural (乡村的) areas |
| 2. We can conclude from the passage that ______. |
| A. Zipcar can't help you if you are running urgent errands B. Zipcar, different from other services, aims green driving with no profit C. Zipcar is a company supplying car sharing service for a monthly payment D. Zipcar is a company providing formal car sharing free |
| 3. The second paragraph mainly tells us ______. |
| A. why people will share a car B. why car sharing benefits the environment C. why car sharing is cheaper than owning a car D. why a car is available to members |
| 4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? |
| A. Car sharing has become a new trend (趋势). B. Car sharing can save you the headaches of ownership. C. Bus sharing is even greener than car sharing. D. Zipcar is the largest company offering car sharing services. |

| Imagine yourself on a boat looking out at the horizon and all you can see is the water meeting the sky with no land in sight and you are sailing straight ahead to meet the world. Jesse Martin does not have to imagine: he is living in it. On Dec. 7, 1998, at 17 years old, Jesse set sail from Melbourne, Australia on his boat, attempting to become the youngest person to sail alone and nonstop around the world. He sailed south of New Zealand, through the South Pacific, around South America, north on the Atlantic, back south past Africa, through the Indian Ocean and back to Melbourne. Even as a young child, Jesse had been an adventurer who traveled all over Europe and Asia with his parents. Born in Munich, Germany in 1981, he moved to Australia with his family when he was only two years old. They moved close to a rainforest in Cow Bay, about 3500kms north of Melbourne, where they built a small house with no electricity or running water. Jesse grew up at the beach enjoying the outdoors to its fullest. At 14, he sailed for the first time with his father and brother, Beau. It was after this trip that he began to dream about sailing around the world. Jesse's family played an important role. "I was made to believe I could do anything." he says. Although, he says, there were others that were not so encouraging or supportive, "People that I looked up to, respected and trusted told me I couldn't. Thankfully, I trusted myself. There were people that said that the boat couldn't be ready by the time I had to leave." However, through perseverance and belief in himself he was able to do what many told him was impossible. On Oct.31, 1999, more than 10 months after he set sail, Jesse Martin went down in history as the youngest person to sail around the world alone, nonstop and unassisted. |
| 1. What's the author's purpose in encouraging the reader to imagine a sailing experience? |
| A. To show how difficult it is to be a sailor. B. To show how wonderful Jesse's sailing is. C. To describe what Jesse's sailing is like. D. To describe what a sailor's life is like. |
| 2. Jesse Martin was at the end of his voyage when he ______. |
| A. sailed on the South Pacific. B. sailed on the Indian Ocean. C. sailed past Africa. D. sailed past South America. |
| 3. Which of the following made Jesse decide to sail alone around the world? |
| A. His childhood adventure experiences. B. His journeys to Europe. C. His first sailing trip with his family. D. His love for outdoor activities. |
| 4. What can we learn from Jesse Martin's story? |
| A. Interest leads to success. B. A strong belief will make a person stronger. C. Life is an unusual adventure we should enjoy. D. Failure is the mother of success. |

| There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend(hurt)many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing (批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact (接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. |
| 1. The phrase "sour the pleasure of society" most nearly means ______. |
| A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life |
| 2. We can conclude from the passage that ______. |
| A. we should pity all such unhappy people B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons |
| 3. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should ______. |
| A. prevent any communication with them B. show no respect and politeness to them C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes |

| Zoology (动物学) deals with the study of the animals' habitat and behavior. It has nothing to do with people, so many students are wondering why they have to learn it. Our nature includes not just the humans but plants and animals as well. Everything in our environment is connected in a complex cycle. If you have a better understanding of how animals behave, then you would value nature better. Some animals, like sharks and snakes, are often misunderstood by people. They are thought of as human killers, and this is mainly because we don't understand why they behave that way. Zoology would help you learn their natural behavior as well as their habits, so you would understand why they behave in a defensive manner when they feel threatened. Studying zoology would help people know the real facts about animals. One of the sad facts is the decreasing numbers of some species of animals. It makes people realize that there is a need for nature to be always balanced. We need animals to keep the balance in our environment and for humans to survive. Zoology helps us learn the needs that animals have and we can respond by thinking of solutions we can give to the endangered species of animals. Technological progress is needed for a country to grow in terms of its economy; however, it should not force us to destroy our rainforests and oceans. People should realize that our modern lives should include the lives of the animals. Animals should not be contained in zoos but live in their natural habitats. We will learn that every living creature on the earth has the right to own a habitat and we need to fight for them to have permanent habitats. |
| 1. According to Paragraph 2, zoology helps people to _____. |
| A. know the structure of nature B. work with zoologists better C. have an appreciation for nature D. understand the animals' behavior |
| 2. The example of sharks and snakes is used to show that _____. |
| A. people should have a better understanding of animals B. people should communicate with animals C. animals keep their behavior a myth D. animals are human killers |
| 3. In Paragraph 4, the author urges people to _____. |
| A. learn the real facts about animals B. spread the knowledge of animals C. satisfy the animals' needs D. protect endangered animals |
| 4. The passage is mainly about _____. |
| A. the advantages of learning zoology B. the importance of studying zoology C. the basic knowledge of zoology D. the ways of protecting animals |

You cannot have success if you don't know what it means to you. Set clear goals and be realistic. Your standards should be specific or else you will spend your entire time chasing after a vague goal. For example, you want to be good at your job. However, this is not a specific goal. Instead, specify this goal as: "My goal is to only be late for work five times per year, at the most." This is a specific goal that when achieved, give you a sense of satisfaction and completion, making you feel successful and confident. 2. ( ) Look around-who has the success that you envision (想象) for yourself? What are they doing? How do they approach a successful life? Become their students. Ask them for advice. Spend time around them, if you can. Learn from them. They will bring you much useful experience. 3. ( ) Successful people think big and act big. It can be scary to do, but if you don't, then how will you ever be successful? Don't wait for opportunities. Dig them out. Successful people make big investments (in their careers, in their business, in their education) and all investments involve some degree of risk. Study your risks, and be brave. 4. ( ) People who are successful like solving problems and answering questions. No matter where you are or what you are doing, look around and try to think of ways you can find, for example, what are people struggling with or complaining about? How can you make life easier for them in an effective way? Can you redesign or reorganize some aspects of the situation so that things can run more smoothly? 5. ( ) You should learn to persist. It is also the key factor to success. When asked about his 10,000 failed attempts to develop a storage battery, the prolific (多产的) American inventor Thomas Edison replied: "I have not failed; I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. So, if your first attempt didn't work, don't quit and don't give up." |
