| "Dr. Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?" The usual laughter followed, and people stirred to go. Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was. "I will answer your question." Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter. And what he said went like this: "When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror. A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place. I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one, and, by scratching it on a stone, I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine-in deep holes and crevices (裂缝) and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find. I kept the little mirror, and, as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a child's game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But light-truth, understanding, knowledge-is there, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it. I am a fragment (碎片) of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world-into the black places in the hearts of men-and change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life." |
| 1. On hearing the author's question, Dr. Papaderos _____ at first. |
| A. laughed at his foolishness B. wasn't sure of the answer C. doubted his seriousness D. wasn't interested at all |
| 2. Why did Dr. Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child? |
| A. Because he was too poor to afford other toys. B. Because it could shine the places where the sun couldn't reach. C. Because he believed it would bring good luck to him. D. Because it told him a lot about what life really meant to him. |
| 3. The underlined "metaphor" in the 7th paragraph most probably means _____. |
| A. symbol B. source C. light D. purpose |
| 4. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? |
| A. A Special Game in the Childhood B. A Broken Piece of Mirror C. Dr. Papaderos' Experience D. The Meaning of Life |

There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to  express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own goals of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one's goals at too low a level of achievement. A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: "You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown," The counselor added, "You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given your best effort." |
| 1. In the paragraph one, the author implies that_____ are essential in achieving success . |
| A. ability and goals B. ability and environment C. goals and determination D. goals and environment |
| 2. Which one of the following statements is Not True? |
| A. All the rich people are not considering themselves successful. B. Only the person who achieves great goals can be regarded as a successful man. C. Living a simple life and enjoying peace is for some people a success. D. A shepherd is someone who takes care of sheep. |
| 3. The last paragraph implies that ______. |
| A. success means taking a walk in the park B. success means achieving great goals C. we should have high goals D. success means trying one's best at what one really likes |
| 4. This passage mainly talks about _______. |
| A. the definition of success B. how to achieve success C. how to set goals D. the importance of goals |

| In the early 1950s, researchers found that people scored lower in intelligence tests if they could speak more than one language. 1 So which one of them is right? There is a new finding recently. Researchers showed their latest studies at a meeting in February, 2011. The latest evidence shows that being bilingual(双语的)does not necessarily make people smarter. 2 . Imagine you are driving down the highway. There are many things that could draw your attention and you really need to be able to notice all of them. 3 Why? The answer is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention. The best method to measure it is called the Stroop Test. A person is shown words in different colors. The person needs to tell the colors of the words. 4 For example, the word "blue" might be written in red, but you have to say red. You need to ignore the word and pay more attention to its color so that you can say correctly. The bilingual people continually practise this function because both languages are active in their mind at the same time. 5 Researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning and are more likely to have friends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in suffering from dementia (痴呆症). |
| A. This would be easier if you are bilingual. B. The problem is that the words are all names of colors. C. This would be very difficult for them to achieve. D. However, another research in the 1960s showed the opposite. E. They would be cleverer than other people. F. In addition, it might help people in other ways, too. G. But researchers say it probably does make people better at certain skills. |

| It was a foggy day. The fog was such thick that it was impossible to see far. People were trying to find their way but was lost in the fog. Mr. Smith had important meeting but no one could take him there. He had to walk there but found himself lost. Suddenly a stranger told to him that he will take him there. Mr. Smith thanked him but they started to walk there. The fog was getting thick, but the stranger had no difficulty in find the way. Mr. Smith couldn't understand why, so he asked her, "How do you find the way in the fog?" "It is no troubles to me," said the stranger, "I am blind." _______________________________________________________________________________ |
