| I truly believe in the power of paying it forward and I have always got enjoyment and fulfillment from it. Last year, I was waiting at the traffic lights on my way to work 1 my car was hit from behind. After pulling over, a(n) 2 young man admitted his fault and continued to apologize and explain 3 he had not been "in the moment" while driving. He told me that he had just been driven out of the apartment because of his 4 to pay the rent and that his 5 had just run out. I could 6 his true stress, and as he gave me his details and promised to find a way to pay for it, I tried to 7 him and told him not to worry too much. When I got to work, my colleagues 8 me to get a quote quickly and were shocked to find that I had not collected his registration details. The same thing happened when I told my sister what had happened and she 9 told me not to let him get away with it. She knew that I had a small amount of money in the bank and was worried that I would not 10 damages (赔偿费). 11 everyone pressuring me to chase up damages, I was unsure of what to do. I decided to 12 a small second-hand car and reflect on my dilemma (进退两难的窘境). After about four months, it was coming up towards 13 and I started to think about how nervous this young man might be feeling, waiting for me to "sting" him, so I 14 made my decision and sent him this short message: "Hi Joe, A few weeks back you hit the 15 of my car. I have managed to pick up another car, so I have been able to get 16 . I want to let you know that I am not going to seek any payment from you. If in future you 17 help someone, that would be great. Wish you a wonderful Christmas and hope next year is better." This young man was so 18 , and I felt that finally a weight had been 19 from my shoulders. If only I had trusted my own heart earlier, we both could have been 20 some unnecessary stress! | |||

| Famous centenarians (百岁老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. "Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others." Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens. Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation. Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking (未来派的) buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic. Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old." He also plans to keep performing. "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role". Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection." In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She's convinced that humans grow on challenges. With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers. |
| 1. From the first two paragraphs, we can see ________. |
| A. being active at 102 is achievable for everybody B. Oliveira owes his long life to his mother's help C. being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character D. social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior |
| 2. How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage? |
| A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 7 |
| 3. By saying "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?", Heesters means that he ________. |
| A. is willing to work till he dies B. is waiting for people to pick him up C. wants to sit or lie in comfort D. prefers to give performance at home |
| 4. The best title for this passage may be "________". |
| A. The Older, the Wiser You'll Be B. Progress, Created Through Imperfection C. How to Live to Be a Centenarian D. Age, No Barrier to Some High Achievers |

| When I was a child I never said, "When I grow up, I want to be a CEO," but here I am. When I look back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isn't a straight, clearly clarified path. In fact, no two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, there's a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies. As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may vary, but the people in that position share the qualities of commitment, work ethic (守则) and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the way - putting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup. I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur (企业家) from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business activities in college with varying degrees of success. And I always had a dream job pattern: to walk to work, work for myself and build something for consumers. I'm only 29, so it's been a quick ride to CEO．Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer product team. In mid-2007 I left Revolution Health and started LivingSocial with several other colleagues, where I became a CEO. Career advice: Don't figure out where you want to work, or even what industry you'd like to work at. Figure out what makes you do so. What gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not what you like doing...and then apply it to your work life. Also, just because you're graduating, don't stop learning. Read more books than you did in college. If you do, and they're not, you're really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do. |
| 1. What can we know from the first paragraph? |
| A. The author hasn't achieved his childhood ambition. B. The author thinks there is some easy way to become a CEO. C. The author had an ambition of becoming a CEO in his childhood. D. The author believes success stories of CEOs can be beneficial to everybody. |
| 2. According to the author, successful CEOs should ________. |
| A. try not to take risks B. stay in the same business C. have a strong sense of creativity D. save every possible penny |
| 3. What can we know about the author from the passage? |
| A. He started LivingSocial when he was still a student of Georgetown University. B. His father had far-reaching influence on him. C. His business activities at college ended up in more failure than success. D. He used to run the consumer product team for AOL. |

| Jogging has become the most popular individual sport in America. Many theories, even some mystical ones, have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging. The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap, quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness. The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart,lungs, and circulatory (血液循环 的)systems. If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies. One can train more specifically, as by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power as in football, but running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth doing that: this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease, the number one cause of death in America. Only one sort of equipment is needed - a pair of good shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not to try to run in tennis or gym shoes. Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make a pair of excellent running shoes indispensable (不可缺少的) if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible,with as little chance of injury as possible. A pair of good running shoes will have soft pads for absorbing shock, as well as slightly built-up heels and full heel cups that will give the knee and ankle more stability. A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters (水泡)and the foot,ankle and knee injuries and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces. No other special equipment is needed; you can jog in any clothing you desire, even your street clothes. It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run. The American Jogging Association has a twelve-week program designed to move from a fifteen-minute walk (which almost anyone can manage who is in reasonable health) to a thirty-minute run. A measure of common sense, a physical examination, and a planned schedule are all it takes. |
| 1. The main purpose of this passage is to ________. |
| A. discuss jogging as a physical fitness program B. describe the type of clothing needed for jogging C. provide scientific evidence of the benefits of jogging D. launch a worldwide physical fitness campaign |
| 2. The most effective kind of exercise should be the one that ________. |
| A. trains the body for weight lifting B. enables a person to run straight ahead C. is both beneficial and inexpensive D. develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems |
| 3. What can we learn from the third paragraph? |
| A. For beginning joggers, tennis or gym shoes are better choices. B. A pair of good running shoes is necessary for a runner to develop quickly. C. A pair of good running shoes with a full heel-cup is designed to prevent shock. D. Comfortable pads will give the knees and ankles more stability. |
| 4. The author's attitude towards jogging is ________. |
| A. doubtful B. critical C. approving D. negative |
