| "So teach him to close the door", my daughter Emma responded after listening to me 1 , again, about the dog coming in from the back door, bringing with him a blast of Buffalo January 2 air. Teach a dog to close a door behind him? That has got to be a really, really 3 thing to do. But then she took a step 4 . "Come on, Kolby", she said, grabbing some treats (犒劳物) and 5 him in front of the open door. "Touch." And "touch" he did, which moved the door to a 6 position. She 7 him with a treat, smiled, looked at me, and said "see!" And I saw and became 8 . Over the last few days I have been with Kolby. Each time he comes in I bring him back to the 9 door and ask him to close. There have been 10 in the beginning, but lately more and more successes. However, there remains much work to be done. I have to get him to follow my hand signal again and again 11 he will close the door from a distance. But, I now realize, 12 you keep to the focus, the 13 will be completed. What a 14 treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be found in the 15 I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby. A wish is just a wish until you decide to take 16 . Once you 17 the belief that it is "too hard", then it remains "too hard" and out of 18 . Once you want to accomplish a goal, and 19 that it is "easy", then it becomes "easy" to do what needs to be done. Just 20 doing it. | ||||

| The iPhone, the iPad, the iPod, each of apple's products sounds cool and has become a pad (一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter "i",-- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC's iPlayer-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the internet-adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK-that plays music and video is called "iTeddy". A slimmed-down version of London's Independent newspaper,was launched last week under the name "i". In general, single-letter prefix have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use. Most "i" products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of the Independent's "i", it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name. But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter "i". Why not use "a", "b" or "c" instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of Language Center at King's College, London, "i" works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses "i", no one knows whether it means internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC magazines "even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn't have one clear definition," he says. "However,thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability (轻便)," adds Thorne. Clearly the letter "i" also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason. Along with "Google" and "blog", readers of BBC magazines voted "i" as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade. But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to the 1990s, products with "2000" in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared. |
| 1. We can infer that the Independent's "i" is aimed at _____. |
| A. young readers B. old readers C. fashionable women D. engineers |
| 2. The underlined word "ambiguous" means "____". |
| A. popular B. uncertain C. definite D. unique |
| 3. Nowadays,the "i" term often reminds people of the products which are _____. |
| A. portable B. environmentally friendly C. advanced D. recyclable |
| 4. The writer suggests that _____. |
| A. "i" products are often of a high quality B. the popularity of "i" products may not last long C. the letter "b" replace letter "i" to name the products D. iTeddy is a live bear |

| How many people have I met who have told me about the book they have been planning to write but have never yet found the time? Far too many. This is Life, all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal (排演) and, unhappily, we do miss so many of its best moments. We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families always making ourselves believe that this style of life is merely a temporary state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do. Then, at 60 or 65, we are suddenly presented with a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for Real Life to come along were in fact real life. In America they have a saying much laughed at by the English: "Have a nice day" they speak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderful phrase, reminding us, in effect, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day. How often do we say to ourselves, "I'll take up horse-riding (or golf, or sailing) as soon as I get a higher position," only to do none of those things when I do get the higher position. When I first became a reporter I knew a man who gave up a very well paid respectable job at the Daily Telegraph to go and edit a small weekly newspaper. At the time I was astonished by what appeared to me to be his completely abnormal (反常的) mental state. How could anyone turn his back on Fleet Street in central London for a small local area?I wanted to know. Now I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man was under continual pressure. He lived in an unattractive London suburb and he spent much of his life sitting on Southern Region trains. |
| 1. The first paragraph of the passage tells us that _____. |
| A. we always try to find some time to write a book B. we always make plans but seldom fulfill them C. we always enjoy many of life's best moments D. we always do what we really want to do |
| 2. The underlined phrase "turn his back on" (paragraph 6) most probably means _____. |
| A. leave for B. return to C. give up D. rely on |
| 3. The man ( paragraph 6) left his first job partly because he was _____. |
| A. in an abnormal mental state B. under too much pressure C. not well paid D. not respected |
| 4. What is probably the best title for the passage? |
| A. Provide Homes For Our Family B. Take Up Horse-riding C. Value This Very Day D. Stay Alive |

| He's an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: "I haven't time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street ; he'll fix them for you right away." But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). "No," I replied, "the other fellow can't do it well." "The other fellow" was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys"while-U-wait"-without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair. My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said,"Come back in a week." I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf. "See what I can do?" he said with pride. "Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work." When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft. These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it"pays", when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done. |
| 1. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler ? |
| A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools. B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais. C. He was proud of his skills. D. He was a native Parisian. |
| 2. The sentence "He was something out of an ancient legend." ( paragraph 7 ) implies that _____. |
| A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him B. it was difficult to communicate with this man C. the man was very strange D. the man was too old |
| 3. According to the author, many people work just to _____. |
| A. realize their abilities B. gain happiness C. make money D. gain respect |
| 4. This story wants to tell us that _____ . |
| A. craftsmen make a lot of money B. whatever you do, do it well C. craftsmen need self-respect D. people are born equal |

| 1 . If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it's likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life. The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. 2 I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are:kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose. 3 . These could be companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is what yu receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life. When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. 4 . If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be-this is the key to personal power. When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. 5 . |
| A. Young people have a different set of values. B. You feel that you have a responsibility to help them. C. Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. D. Your being values are the character traits (特征,特点) of the ideal person you would like to be. E. You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. F. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding. G. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you. |
