| Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend (超越) it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems. |
| 1. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ______. |
| A. save space B. persuade readers C. make readers laugh D. get readers' attention |
| 2. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to______. |
| A. encourage them to learn B. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem C. help them learn to deal with pain D. teach them how to respect for problems |
| 3. From the passage, it can be inferred that ______. |
| A. everybody has problems B. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life C. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain D. people like to complain about their problems |

| You can never be too sure these days in the United States of your neighbours or even your customers! Try to keep a low amount of attention from the public in your neighborhood: don't announce to just about everyone that you are running a home business with thousands of dollars worth of equipment. As much as possible, don't invite customers or visitors to your home. In fact I know of some home-based businessmen who would rather meet their clients in a neutral ground, e.g. the client's office or even Starbucks. There are other ways to keep burglars away from your house. ●Keep lights on around your house in the evenings. Light is a natural fright for burglars. ●Invest in a security alarm, particularly if your house is located in a remote spot. Security systems can often bring down the cost of your homeowner's insurance fees. ●Make sure that all windows and doors are locked and the security alarm turned on before you sleep at night or go out of the house. Avoid keeping house keys in obvious places, such as under the lamp or top of the doorframe. ●Adding an additional lock will provide extra security when you are home. The dead-lock, sometimes called an "exit-only deadbolt" is an deadbolt that doesn't have an external(外部的)key. It's clearly visible on the door from the outside, but can't be broken into without destroying the door, frame, or lock itself. While the security won't help directly when you aren't home, the visibility may discourage an intruder from trying the door. ●Your door itself should be made of strong materials, such as one-inch thick solid hardwood or heavy metal. |
| 1. The advice given by the writer in the passage focuses on __________. |
| A. what to do when your house is broken into B. how to make your house safer from burglars C. how to improve social security in the United States D. how to run a home business |
| 2. Some home-based entrepreneurs don't invite customers to their home _____. |
| A. to enjoy convenience outside their home B. in order to avoid being seen by burglars C. not to let others know their business D. for reasons of their property safety |
| 3. All of the following are part of the writer's advice except that the homeowner ________. |
| A. buy a security alarm and turn it on in the evening B. keep lights on in all rooms to threaten burglars C. have the doors made of solid hardwood or heavy metal D. fix an extra lock on the door from inside |
| 4. What does the underlined word "intruder" most probably mean in this passage? |
| A. Someone who illegally enters the home. B. Someone who is invited to visit. C. Someone who pays regular visits to the home. D. Someone who tries to destroy the lock. |

| In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources. Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil, which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%. Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one. The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries. |
| 1. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ______. |
| A. it consumes natural resources B. it makes the world warmer C. it brings severe damage to forests D. it makes growth hard to continue |
| 2. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? |
| A. China lacks wind and solar energy. B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market. C. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests. D. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development. |
| 3.To fully develop the low-carbon markets, governments can ______. |
| A. cut public expenses B. encourage energy conservation C. develop public resources D. forbid carbon emission |
| 4. What is the main purpose of the passage? |
| A.To advocate sustainable development. B.To compare two business models. C.To predict a change of the global market. D.To introduce a new business model. |

| It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross's campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the World were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics," she said. "But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her." The Princess concluded, with a simple message: "We must stop landmines". And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message. But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon (乱放炮的人)". The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: "This is a distraction we do not need. All I'm trying to do is help." Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make m atters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government's policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government. To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkind, claimed that the Princess's views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was "working towards" a worldwide ban. The Defense Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was "a misinterpretation or misunderstanding." For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the Chance to get closer to people and their problems. |
| 1. Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997 ________. |
| A. to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims B. to clarify the British government's stand on landmines C. to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims there D. to voice her support for a total ban of landmines |
| 2. What did Diana mean when she said "... putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me" (Line 5, Para. 1)? |
| A. She just couldn't bear to meet the landmine victims face to face. B. Seeing the pain of the victims made her realize the seriousness of the situation. C. Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics. D. The actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back home. |
| 3.What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola? |
| A. It had brought her closer to the ordinary people. B. It had caused embarrassment to the British government. C. It had greatly promoted her popularity. D. It had affected her relations with the British government. |
| 4. How did Diana respond to the criticisms? |
| A. She made more appearances on TV. B. She paid no attention to them. C.She met the 13-year-old girl as planned. D. She rose to argue with her opponents. |

Often a controlling parent is a perfectionist, driving you always to be the best you can and getting angry or upset over grades that are less perfect, no matter how hard you work for them, or finding faults with tasks you take on around the home. There is nothing wrong with doing a job right, but it seems like no matter how hard you work on it, it's never perfect. In other words, do you ever just receive praise from that parent, or is it always justified with a "but..." or "except...". 2. ________ It can only be controlled if you allow it to be. Controlling behaviours are eventually the controller's attempt to meet his or her own needs. If the controlling parent demands good grades, don't do poorly. You are the strong one when you find ways to meet his or her needs and yours, without allowing them to get into your mind. They can force you to pretend to be something you are not, but they can't change who you actually are. 3.________ Most controlling parents are simply afraid that you will fail without their intervention. Because they feel it necessary to involve themselves in your life. If you can discover what seems to calm your parents, you will make your own life much easier. For example, if a note from your teacher telling them you haven't turned in your homework will put you into trouble, do turn in the homework. It's pretty simple but really-do what your parents want you to do, and they will be less intrusive in your life. 4.________ Some parents control their family with anger. They really lose their temper, lose all self-control, and the result is no discussion. People are afraid to voice an opinion contrary to the angry parents because they fear what will happen. This is how anger is used to control you. If you can talk to the parents, ask for the 3-minute-rule approach. Using this approach allows everyone to be heard and also provides some "cooling off" time, which can help manage conflicts. 5.________ If you are very smart, you will study hard in school and give yourself lots of opinions for change. Even if you go to school locally, it's suggested that you try to live in the dormitories, or any place other than your parents' home. Get a job and help with your own living expenses. The sooner you get out form under the shadow of a controlling parent, the sooner the parent will recognize you "Declaration of Independence". |
