| I remember the exact moment I learned the principle of preparing for luck. I was on the wrestling (摔跤) team. Now, if there's one thing I can tell you about any sport, it is that wrestling is probably the sport that has the least 1 .There are only two people out on the mat, so you cannot 2 it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no 3 problem because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can't say, "It was raining" or "It was snowing." It makes 4 to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck. On our team were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We 5 had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy 6 the name of John. John had never been 7 in any high school wrestling competition that I could remember, 8 he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him. One day, we 9 a match with our biggest opponent (对手). John went out on the mat, and about a minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a particular 10 He rolled over, and his opponent 11 him halfway through his roll. He was pinned (压住) 12 ! The match was over. I remember on the way home, one of our teammates tried to 13 John by saying, "Oh, he just got lucky." John said, "That's so stupid. The 14 presented itself, and he just drew upon it." We used to have this big 15 in our wrestling room that the coach had put there: "Luck is what happens when opportunity meets 16 ." John's opponent was prepared to make use of this opportunity. The possibility of beating John was not 17 and he knew it. But he waited for the 18 opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned a five-time national champion. In other words, the real 19 is "Be prepared!" It's not just finding the opportunity; you have to be prepared to 20 it. | ||||

| In our old neighborhood, neighbors chatted over fences. Newcomers were welcomed with chocolate and bread. It had been easy to find friends there. Our new community was different. It seemed that family roots grew deep, deep as the Mississippi River that flowed past the tiny river town. We'd moved to decrease my husband's distance to work. Only thirty miles. After living there for six months, I was ready to move back home. I was lonely without a friend. My three boys were lonely. My husband, Lonny, seemed okay, but he spent his days at work. Lonny noticed my sinking disposition. "Shawnelle, you look unapproachable," he said. He and I were sitting in lawn chairs. Samuel, our three-year-old son sat in his own little chair. "What do you mean?" "Body language. You placed our chairs fifteen yards away from everyone else." "It doesn't matter. I'm not going to have friends here." Just then Samuel looked up. "Mom's right, Dad. And we just want to go home." That's when I knew that I needed an adjustment. I didn't want my boys to learn that the way to work through a tough time was to use a wounded and bitter attitude. Over the next few months I smiled when I didn't feel like it. We signed up for reading programs at the library and often visited parks and the bike path along the river. One afternoon Samuel and I climbed up the stairs to the library activity room. A woman who I hadn't seen before sat at a long table with a tiny boy. "Hi," she said. "I'm Tammy. Do you need a seat? There's one right here." I sat down next to Tammy. Soon class was over, and we still had a lot to say. "Why don't you come over later?" Tammy asked. "I live on a farm. There's plenty of room for the kids to run." We went. And since that day, we've been back a million times. When I look back, I'm grateful for that tough time. I learned to persevere. I'm glad I didn't give up. And as for my boys, they learned a lesson too. "Keep moving forward," is what I tell them. "Your heart will follow." |

| When 47-year-old volunteer Susan Boyle stepped on to the stage of Britain's Got Talent and announced she was unemployed, had never been married and "never been kissed, actually", few in the audience would have wondered why. This Ms. Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical Les Miserables on a show of Britain's Got Talent, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain. She couldn't hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyone-including the judges-seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone present fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity (名人) judges sat open-mouthed, and remained standing to the end. After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said, "Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I've had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you. No one is laughing now. That was amazing." Actress Amanda Holden followed, "I am so thrilled because I know that everybody was against you. I honestly think that we were all being cynical (愤世嫉俗的) and I think that's the biggest wake-up call ever." Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic. Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore-who between them have nearly 1.5 million followers-speak highly of her. Kutcher posted a link to the video clip (片段). The Scottish talent made her first live American appearance via satellite connection on CBS's The Early Show, doing an interview and singing live from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Now Boyle has become one of the world's hottest celebrities. The video clip of her performance has been viewed more than 50 million times on YouTube, becoming a hit on the Internet. Not long ago she came to China and was warmly welcomed. |

| In the Caucasus region of Russia, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday, and many don't stop at 100! By comparison, in America only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these Russian old people aren't alone. The Pakistanis, who live high in the Himalaya Mountains, and the Ecuadorans of the Andes Mountains seem to share the secret of long life, too. These people remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time. While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s, some Caucasians aged 100 to 140, work in the fields beside their great-great-grandchildren. Even the idea of aging is foreign to them. When asked "at what age does youth end?" Most of these old people had no answer. Several replied, "Well, perhaps at age 80." What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age, and to survive so well?First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived people. They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam Mamedov is 142 years of age. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Mamedov has no intention of retiring from his life as a farmer. "Why?What else would I do?"he asks. All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work. They all come from mountainous regions. They live and work at elevations of 1,660 to 1,000 meters above sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollution-free. This reduced-oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel(血管) system stronger. Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent, they are separated from the pressures and worries of industrial society. Inherited factors also play some role. Most of the longest-lived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages. Good family genes may, therefore, be one factor in living longer. |
| 1. In the Causasus region of Russian, how many people can reach the age of 100 in 10,000? |
| A. 5 B. 3 C. 50 D. 30 |
| 2. The example of Mr. And Mrs. Mamedov implies that some Caucasians aged 100 to 140 ___. |
| A. become weak and hopeless B. are too old to work in the fields C. are still working in the fields D. benefit from physical work |
| 3. What is the main way of life for all of these long-lived people? |
| A. Retiring from their lives as farmers. B. Having been married for 90 years. C. Hard physical work. D. Having no intentions. |
| 4. At elevations of 1,220 to 1,000 meters above sea level, the air __ . |
| A. has less oxygen and clear B. is seriously polluted C. is rich in oxygen and pollution-free D. is extremely smelly |
| 5. Which of the following factors isn't helpful to people's health and long life? |
| A. Clean mountain air. B. Stress and pressure. C. Daily hard work. D. Good genes. |

| An Australian-based scientist announced yesterday he had made a step forward in forensic (用于法 庭的) DNA testing so that an individual can be identified by a single cell. Ian Findlay, from the Australian Genome Research Facility at the University of Queensland, said current DNA testing required 200 to 500 cells to gain a similar level of accuracy. "What we have done has brought that down to one cell," Dr Findlay said after releasing details of his DNA testing technique at a Sydney conference. The technology could allow investigators to pick up DNA identities from plastic cards and even build up a complete history of the people who have handled a paper document. "You'd have to wear a space suit to stop yourself from leaving traces. You can identify cells on the paper, so you can work out where it's come from and who's touched it," he said. The technique could also be used to trace the thrower of a punch (打孔) from cells left behind on the skin of their victim. Even the wearing of latex(橡胶)gloves would not help: small cells can pass through the gloves, and the constant flow of genetic material given off by the human body would leave further evidence. "We gained a skin cell from a document dating back 30 years and managed to gain a DNA fingerprint. DNA evidence can remain fresh for decades, perhaps even centuries," Dr Findlay said. "The potential for this technology to solve unsolved crimes is great, "he said. But Dr Findlay, named scientist of the year in 1998 by the European Society of Human Genetics, said the new testing needed to be scientifically validated, which would take up to five years. He said, "There are serious consequences taking on technologies too early. The public has to be sure that they have the utmost confidence in the security and court systems." |
| 1. The main advantage of the new technology is that ______. |
| A. it has brought down the cost of DNA testing B. a single cell can identify an individual C. a higher level of accuracy can be acquired with a single cell D. it needs less than 200 cells to gain a certain level of accuracy |
| 2. The underlined word" validated" means ______. |
| A. proved true B. imagined good C. supposed commonly D. criticized strongly |
| 3. According to Ian Findlay, the new technology can ______. |
| A. help to keep DNA evidence fresh for decades and even centuries B. make the process of DNA testing much more simplified C. help to pick up DNA identities more easily D. be widely used in five years at most |
| 4. The last paragraph suggests that ______. |
| A. the immediate adopting of the technology may cause mistakes B. the public have acknowledged the new testing technology C. it is safe to put the new technology into use now D. Dr Findlay is quite sure of his new technology |
| 5. The aim of the passage is to ______. |
| A. praise Ian Findlay for his work B. inform us of the wide use of DNA testing C. report a piece of interesting news D. tell us a recent improvement in DNA testing |
